What is power meter

An electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, or energy meter is

a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a
residence, a business, or an electrically powered device.
What is kwh meter
• kWh meter is the electric meter that measures the amount of
electrical energy in kWh that was consumed in the house. The kWh
meter has a counter display that counts units of kilowatt-hour (kWh).
The energy consumption is calculated by calculating the difference of
the counter's reading in the specified period.
• The pointers advance when electricity flows through the meter, so
the dials indicate the total number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) you've
used. To determine your correct meter reading, simply read the dials
in order from left to right. As you read each dial, write down the
number.
• Working Principle of Energy Meter. The working of single phase induction
type energy meters are based on two main fundamentals: ... Arrangement
of counting and displaying the amount of energy consumed
• Energy meter or watt hour meter is classified in accordance with
several factors such as:
• Type of display like analog or digital electric meter.
• Type of metering point like grid, secondary transmission, primary and
local distribution.
• End applications like domestic, commercial and industrial.
A kilowatt hour (kWh) is a measure of energy. So a 1,000 watt drill
needs 1,000 watts (1 kW) of power to make it work, and uses 1 kWh of
energy in an hour. That's why, if you leave a TV or computer on standby,
it is still using power and creating a kWh cost on your energy bill.
The primary difference between kW (kilowatt) and kVA (kilovolt-ampere) is the
power factor. kW is the unit of real power and kVA is a unit of apparent power (or
real power plus re-active power). ..

Pf is the relation between the real power (kW), the

apparent power (kVA) and the reactive power (kVAR) may
be represented by a triangle as follows: With respect to
“inductive loads”, a load that uses magnetic fields. ... 1000
Volt Amps Reactive (VAR) = 1 kiloVolt Amps Reactive
(kVAR).
